Chara, Asriel, and Walter, sat in the living room, watching cartoons. All three of them were silent, content with watching the show. This silence was broken by Walter's stomach growling slightly. He looked around the room, looking for a clock. 'How long has it been since I've eaten?' He asked himself, in his mind. He shrugged and went back to watching the cartoon. His stomach growled again but louder. It didn't seem like Asriel, or Chara had noticed.
Suddenly a wonderful smell hit his nose. Before he could stop himself he was up, and following the scent. The tantalizing scent led him to a long, white hallway, just outside the living room. The smell had completely filled the hall, confusing him as to where he should go. Just then a clanking sound reached his ears. He turned to the left and walked down the hall, until he reached a set of double doors. They were dark purple, one completely closed, and the other cracked open.
He pulled it open just enough for him to peek in. He glanced around the room, and saw Toriel near a stove. There was also a refrigerator, a sink, and other things. It took a few moments for it to dawn on him that this was a kitchen, and Toriel was cooking something. His stomach rumbled uncomfortably again, reminding him why he was there.
"Hello young one." He looked back into the room, to see Toriel smiling at him. She was across the room at the counter. "Would you like to come in?" She asked. Her eyes were soft, and made Walter feel welcome. He pulled the door open enough so that he could walk in.
Walter examined the counter, and everything on it. There were various cooking utensils scattered about the counter. There was flower everywhere, including on Toriel's hands. Just then his stomach growled really loudly, causing him to wince. Toriel noticed, this and got a concerned look on her face.
"My dear, are you hungry?" She asked him. She wasn't sure how to express her concern, without overstepping her bounds. He probably had his own mother on the surface. How would he feel if she tried taking his mom's place? Either way, Walter felt embarrassed that she was so concerned over his stomach growling. Nevertheless, he nodded vigorously at the thought of food. He wouldn't have answered, had his need for food not been so pressing.
Toriel walked back to the large fridge, and opened it. After about a minute of browsing through the fridge, she found what she was searching for. A small cupcake sat on a plate near the back. It had been left over from her son, Asriel's, birthday party. It was yellow with green frosting, and star shaped sprinkles. She quickly pulled it out and handed it to Walter.
His face lit up in surprise when he saw it. He'd eaten one before, but couldn't remember exactly where. Regardless, he eagerly took the cupcake, along with a huge bite. It tasted so good, that he quickly wolfed it down without a care. When he had finished, he licked his fingers clean. He had really liked the cupcake, and it had made him feel better too.
"Well you certainly enjoyed that." Toriel said, reminding him who was there with him. He licked his lips, while blushing a bit. He had completely forgotten that she was still there. Had he really been that hungry? He didn't know, but Toriel seemed glad that she had fed him. The sound of an alarm clock going off, drew his attention.
"You should probably go back to watching cartoons, with my children." Toriel said with a smile, as she walked out of the room. She held the door open for Walter to follow. "Once my husband is up, you won't have much longer to watch cartoons before we have to leave the castle." She continued, her smile seeming to enchant him. She had a very nice smile, and seemed even nicer.
Walter followed her out, and began walking back to the room where the others were. He took one last glance down the hall, and saw Toriel opening a pair of large double doors further down the hall. When Toriel walked into the room, the doors closed behind her, leaving Walter all alone in the hall. He walked back into the living room. Chara, and Asriel, were still sitting on the floor, and he took a seat beside them.
"Hi, where'd you go?" The other human, Chara, asked him. They didn't bother looking away from the T.V, but he didn't mind.
"The kitchen... I think?..." He replied. He didn't spend to much time in kitchens anyways.
"Cool, did you see mom?" Asriel asked, looking away from the T.V, and staring at him. It was apparent that the monster boy, was the type to be happy all the same.
"You mean Toriel?"
"Yeah, mom."
"Then yes, it was warm in there and smelled nice." Walter recounted his time there. It was okay but other than the cupcake, it wasn't memorable. "She also gave me a cupcake."
"What? Aw man, I had my eye on that one for a while. Asriel had a look of defeat on his face. Chara seemed disinterested in the conversation. The sound of falling stuff, had Walter looking at the T.V. It was a cartoon, with puppets. This made Walter a bit uncomfortable. He was ten, he didn't need to watch puppet shows anymore.
"What's on?" He asked, expecting Asriel to respond, but to his surprise it was Chara.
"It's Fun Time: Lil' Monsters." They answered. Walter waited for a minute and watched the show before he gave his verdict.
"This show is for babies."
